Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 301
It is permissible to wear contact lenses in a Reshut Harabim on Shabbat. Since it is not normal to take them out in public there is no concern that the wearer will take them out and carry them in a place with no eruv. However, a person who is uncomfortable with contacts and is still getting used to them does need to be concerned. It is also permitted to wear prescription sunglasses and transition lenses in Reshut Harabim the same as regular glasses. There are some poskim who do not allow going out into a place with no eruv with non prescription sunglasses since the wearer may take them off and carry them in the shade. However, one who does wear them has what to rely on - especially where there is an eruv.
